8 things only Samsung galaxy s8 and s9 owners know
The Samsung galaxy s8 and s9 plus are one of the best phones
up to date but some people still don’t know about the super cool features and
software advancements. As we know, some of android users can find it a bit difficult to
upgrade to the newer Sammy boys on the market right now but there has been
major improvements that Samsung galaxy owners only know! These are the 7 things
only Samsung galaxy s8 and s9 plus owners would know!
You can change the
display resolution
Remember when you could only have the default resolution!!? Ok,
probably not but it’s true. Most companies restrict your resolution based on
the screen you have! That might not sound like much but by doing so; you
literally can’t optimize your screen to when you need it. On the Samsung galaxy
s8 and s9 plus, you can change the resolution to what you need to use it for. Let’s
say that you just want to casually text and no videos or photos, you can simply
lower the resolution to HD+ and if you want to use it for pictures, videos and
gaming, just bump it up to FHD+ and for VR purposes you can max it out to WQHD+
which can give you great amounts of details and really looks impressing inside
virtual reality. So what exactly are the benefits of changing your screen
resolution? By doing do, you can save a lot of battery life! Using the lowest
mode can save you up to 15% which is consider a lot.
Bixby still sucks
Compared to Siri, Cortana and Assistant, Bixby had a lot of
trouble answering simple questions. In general the other voice assistance is
better than answering simple questions than Bixby would. Although it really
sounded like a good idea before its initial release, due to Samsung’s bad
history of software updates, Bixby was only a half-baked idea and did not work
as much as they wanted to on Bixby.
New Game tool
If you have a couple of high end games on your s8 and s9,
Galaxy owners notice the game toolbox that appears on the corner of the phone. What
this allows you to do is to have few controls of how you play your game.
Basically, since the introduction of 18:9 screens, the default 16:9 which high
end games support were not natively supported on the s8 and s9. All you would
get is these ugly black bars which don’t fill up the whole screen at the sides. So
Samsung decided to have a fancy tool that makes you blow up the game in full
screen and a set other tools you can use in games such as screenshot which is really
convenient and makes gamers around the world a bit happier with this new
feature.
Smart blue light tool
According to scientist, using smartphones and laptops emit blue
light rays which disrupt sleep. To avoid this problem, Samsung added a “smart
blue light tool” and when you click on it through the notifications bar; you
get this red sun glow display. Obviously a lot of people might prefer normal
displays, but would you really trade that in for a bad night sleep? Don’t
forget, there are apps that can do this such as twilight, But I guess you’re
better off using this tool so nothing bad happens to your sleep and you wake up
fresh in the morning.
Ultra power saving
mode
This basically allows you to decrease performance and
changes the UI to achieve battery life up to 30 Days! I know this hasn’t been a
revolutionary feature and is on a lot of android phones but there’s still the
shocking fact, does the apple X have this? No! To go even further, No apple
device has this! So it’s still worth brining up because let’s face the fact, It’s
still impressive. There comes times where you need to conserve as much power as
possible and what no better way to do that but to have an Ultra power saving
mode! Samsung galaxy s8 and s9 owners know they can still rely on this when
they absolutely need every single drop of battery left in the smartphone.
Dex experience
What is DeX? It simply stands for Desktop Experience! On the s8 an
s8 plus we’ve seen that Samsung employed a new virtual environment that mimics
a full desktop right on your phone. You get this fancy looking stand that has
an HDMI output, 2 USB ports and a charging port. You just simply doc your phone
and it sets up the environment for you. With the 2 USB ports you can add a
keyboard and mouse; voila you have a full desktop! It really looks like a
Windows 10 like computer and the performance is super fluid thanks to the
plentiful 6GB of ram and the EXYNOs 9810 the S9 plus provides.
Earpiece+ Speaker
surrounds sound
On the Samsung galaxy s9 and s9 plus we see a big sound
improvement with the earpiece and bottom speaker working together. The results
are extremely good so good that it sounds like you have a miniature Bluetooth
speaker right by your side! On other galaxy generations we haven’t seen this
feature but since its release on the s9, Users have reported that they love the
implementation. Since this is an Android phone, you can use apps such as Viper to really mimic bass which sounds
great but you do need root.
There’s still a
headphone jack!
A lot of smartphones nowadays are removing their headphone
jack ports just because of companies like apple are doing so! But Galaxy owners
are so glad that Samsung didn’t remove the headphone jack. Sometimes you just want to plug in your
headphones and be done with it unlike having Bluetooth headphones where you
have to go to settings>make sure your headphones are charged> turn on
your Bluetooth headphones > pair your headset, that’s too many steps! Sometimes
you just want to be done with it and jump into that song without having to make
sure that all the variables are the same.
